Marcus Marcos, the owner of Diamond Head Cove Health Bar and wife Ann own this spot that emphasizes local fish and produce on its menu. "Da Cove" in business for more than a year, is a mild-mannered smoothie spot by day and 'awa lounge four nights out of the week. Marcos prefers to catch the fish himself. Sometimes his fellow fishermen help him out, but charter fishing boats or the fish auction are other options. After trading in his corporate job, he now also enjoys scouting out farmers markets for locally grown produce.

The fish is made into fresh limu-shoyu poke made with Kauai pa'a salt. It is also sauted with garlic, onions,capers and mushrooms in a shoyu-based sauce. The saute becomes a topping for a salad bursting with fresh mixed greens, broccoli, butter avocado and Molokai tomatoes. It is also used to fill a "taco" with salad greens which is more like a wrap in a spinach tortilla. Vegetarians will enjoy one of the best wraps in town - a jumbo hummus wrap stuffed with spinach and grated carrot accompanied by a zippy dressing made with Dijon mustard and mirin. Smoothie boosts are 75 cents andinclude protein powder, coconut milk, peanut butter, spirulina, maple syrup, honey, wheat germ, mangosteen and lilikoi when available.
